meaning the government stopped 40 of these attacks. most of it by really good work, and every once in awhile by just dumb luck like the attack in detroit at christmas day two years ago. >> mayor, one of the big changes down there this year is politicians will not be speaking. this is the first time that's happened. what do you think about that? >> oh, i don't care. i think it was perfectly appropriate for the mayor to make some changes in the program. anything he did, somebody's going to criticize it. i think the fact that we change the nature of the ceremony a little bit, make it a little shorter, make it a little more compact, i'm not really offended by that. i'm upset that the memorial isn't done yet. i was here last year, it was supposed to be done this year. now it's not going to get done, i don't know, for a couple of years. i don't quite understand that. >> there is a deal -- >> that has my more upset. >> they say there is a deal now -- >> i know there's a deal. but -- >> mayor -- >> that's what we were told last year, too. >> t

what does that mean free stuff from the government? >> since i was not there to hear what he said, he would venture to think that he is letting people know that although it is assumed that health care would be free, it is not free. someone has to pay for it. whether it is a chunk of the middle class or upper class or however the situation arises, it has to be paid, and that's probably what he is going to. going back to your comment with regards to it being expected to be booed, if you go into any situation where you don't have the majority of support from the people, that is an expectation. if he expected differently, then he would be fooling himself, but again going back to his candor and his honesty and his willingness to let this audience know i am not going to ignore you because your issues are too grave, your community is hurting, and the statistics that are continuing to occur in your neighborhoods are not healthy for sustainable prosperity for your families and i want to do something about it. i commend him for that. >> there is

if you were in support of more government you got a positive score. if you were in support of less government you got a negative score, which seems completely contrary for what you would expect for republicans. >> that's certainly one line we've heard. you guys that lost your positions were too conservative or too tea party but others are saying because you guys went out of your way not only to vote against leadership but seemed like you were trying to embarrass them at times. what do you say about that? >> that's totally ridiculous. this is not a conservative versus liberal thing. there are people like me in congress who are out there, representing the vast majority of americans who want us to balance our budget. it's not a matter of who is willing to work with democrats or republicans. for example, i have a balanced budget amendment to the constitution that has 14 democratic co-sponsors. it's one of the most popular bipartisan budget proposals out there. it's not about who will work with democrats or who will work with republicans who are who is too

job losses slowed only 1,000 government jobs lost. private sector created 120. still not what you wanted to see. economists thought it would be 200,000 jobs created. you have four months of 200,000 jobs or more. we got about half of that. when you look at something called the household survey, it actually shows 31,000 fewer people working in march than in february. so you're seeing some signs of slow down in the hiring, retail kind of a leader there. jobs gained in manufacturing as we told you about before. and overall, overall when you look at the big picture, because it's all about the trend in this, here's the big, you know, route. this was horrible. 8.8 million jobs lost. since then slow, slow healing in the labor market. you wanted to see a little bit better. but we just didn't get it. we've added back about 3.6 million jobs. >>> look, it's above, it's the right direction. it is not the same trajectory we were hoping for. there's a lot of inconsistencies. >> we got to take a look at our end point up next. commercial break and bac
